The vertical spatial dispersion or organization of organisms, particles, sediments, chemical and physical parameters, etc. in the water column. (ASFA Thesaurus)
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs, also known as non-pharmacological interventions) include all measures or actions, other than the use of vaccines or medicines, that can be implemented to slow the spread of iinfluenza [and other illnesses] illnesses in a population.

A common type of seine is a purse seine, named such because along the bottom are a number of rings. A line (referred to as a purse-line) passes through all the rings, and when pulled, draws the rings close to one another, preventing the fish from "sounding", or swimming down to escape the net. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine_fishing)
Ocean colour is measured as the ocean colour radiance (OCR). OCR is the wavelength-dependent solar energy captured by an optical sensor looking down at the sea surface.

Crop growth rate (CGR) is the gain in dry matter production on a unit of land in a unit of time. (http://www.jnkvv.org/PDF/20042020171129204201242.pdf)
In electromagnetism, the magnetic susceptibility is a measure of how much a material will become magnetized in an applied magnetic field. It is the ratio of magnetization M (magnetic moment per unit volume) to the applied magnetizing field intensity H. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility)
The native range of this species is E. Türkiye. It is a bulbous geophyte and grows primarily in the temperate biome. (World Checklist of Vascular Plants 2024. Bellevalia anatolica https://powo.science.kew.org/)
Applied on a fish stock, it is the proportion of the numbers or biomass removed by fishing. (A Fishery Manager's Guidebook - Management Measures and Their Application, FIsheries Technical Paper No. 424, FAO, 2002 (http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/y3427e/y3427e00.htm#Contents). )
A DNA sequence involved in regulating the expression of a gene, e.g. a promoter or operator region (in the DNA molecule). (FAO Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture, 2001)
Note
DNA sequences involved in the regulation of expression of structural genes in operons.
Impingement is the physical contact of a fish with such a barrier structure (screen) due to intake velocities which are too high to allow the fish to escape. (https://dep.wv.gov/oil-and-gas/Water%20Management/Documents/Entrainment%20and%20Impingement%20Prevention%20BMPs_Final.pdf)
Note
Trapping of aquatic organisms by power plant screens
An estimate of the proportion of the population that lacks enough dietary energy for a healthy, active life. (FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO. 2024. The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024 – Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cd1254en)
Note
The prevalence of undernourishment is used to measure hunger.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a highly contagious transboundary disease with zoonotic potential affecting both animal and human health. It causes variable clinical signs and high mortality rates in both wild and domestic bird populations. (FAO. 2024. Animal health. Highly pathogenic avian influenza. https://www.fao.org/animal-health/animal-diseases/highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza/en)
Montpellier maple (Acer monspessulanum) is a small, slow-growing, monoecious, deciduous tree, often with dense branches, smooth bark, and multiple stems. Montpellier maple is morphologically hermaphroditic but has unisex flowers, with wind-dispersed seeds. (EURFORGEN. 2025. Acer monspessulanum/. https://www.euforgen.org/species/acer-monspessulanum)
Dried honey has the moisture extracted from liquid honey to create completely solid, nonsticky granules. This process may or may not include the use of drying and anticaking agents.Dried honey is used in baked goods, and to garnish desserts. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey)
